Worthy is the LAMB+... worthy is the LAMB+... worthy is the LAMB+ that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing! Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto HIM that sitteth on the throne and unto The LAMB+ for ever and ever. Amen.

Passover Meditation #23 for the Lenten Season 2012

~ ~ ~ The Door of the Cross ~ ~ ~

Peter said:

And we,

we have believed

and have known that YOU+ are The CHRIST The SON+ of The Living GOD.

John 6:69 Green's Greek Interlinear

And Martha said:

Yea, LORD: I, I believe that

YOU+ are the CHRIST

The SON+ of GOD

which should come

into the world.

John 11:27 Green's Greek Interlinear

And JESUS said:

Truly, truly

I+ say to you,

the one

who hears MY+Word

and believing

the ONE having sent ME+,

has Everlasting LIFE,

.

and does

not come into judgment,

.

but has

passed out of death

into LIFE.

John 5:24 Green's Greek Interlinear

We believe The FATHER has sent HISSON+, JESUS the CHRIST, into the world to give LIFE unto "whosoever will come" to HIM+.

.

We come on His+ terms with a Godly sorrow that:

leads unto repentance

which leads unto conversion

through to the sanctified waters of Holy Baptism

that leads unto our New Birth from above into CHRIST... making us New Creatures in CHRIST.

Henceforth, we live unto CHRIST and die unto Self, through the means of our cross and through the Power of His+ Cross.

To those who come on His+ terms, this entity called LIFE totally changes. Not only do we become New but all of LIFE becomes new to us.

We learn to do all sorts of new things:

love others because HE+ first loved us,

associate with the Lowly because HE+ associated with us,

hate evil that we see in ourselves, instead of hating our neighbor.

And when we do these things,which is our part to do, the promise of GOD is this:

We pass out of JUDGMENT and into Eternal LIFE, like the greatest insurance policy ever written because it is SURE and CERTAIN to occur.

The vital point, though, is this: GOD knows when we believe unto obedience of heart instead of with our mind only... or because our culture makes us "christian...." or because our church or community membership makes us "christian..."

No mind only, no culture only, no church only , and no community only constitutes faith in His+ eyes.

HE+ wants your heart.

.

HE+ will not accept a substitute.

HE+ will allow you to experience everlasting death if you don't offer HIM+ the real thing: your total heart.

HE+ will not accept a substitute, a decoy, a hollow commitment, a phony , a part of your life; HE+ wants it all... just like HE+ gives all of His+ heart to you.

And if you try to deceive yourself, pretending you have given HIM+ all of your heart, you will receive your part in the Lake of Burning Fire and the Second Death with the devil, the false prophet, the beast, the fallen angels... and all those who love and make a lie, those who reject His+ Lordship over their lives. You cannot deceive HIM+.
